    Good morning from Nashville, Sinatra Lennon. "We're just here to shoot the breeze and shave." Yep! That's what keeps me coming back. Thank you, sir.

    "In 1840, the J.B. Williams Company in Glastonbury , Connecticut, manufactured soap under the name Ivorine. Williams decided to focus on its shaving soap and sold Ivorine to Procter & Gamble, which later developed Ivory."... It turns out that Ivory and Williams Mug Soap are distant relatives. So, I guess it makes some sense that you can shave with Ivory soap. It's funny that the end of the plastic handle of that razor is tapered like that. It almost reminds me of the profile of the "Toggle" razors. Enjoyed the video. William C. central Indiana.

    I love the Gillette Slim Twist just because it is the razor my Grandfather shaved with.
    I was fortunate to keep it.

      I recently found a cigar box of some of my grandfather's odds and ends (who passed back in '99 at 73 years old) and it contained a 65 Slim Twist adjustable. I've been wanting to give it a try but it does need a little grunge cleaning, the head mostly. I need to look into how to clean up old razors so I can try out something my grandfather used for years, kind of like a connection to him since he died when I was fairly young and was a quiet man generally. One of my biggest regrets is not getting to know more about him while he was alive

    • @joaonevessantos
      @joaonevessantos Рік тому

      @@procrastinator6902 I think the best way for you to connect to your grandfather is to clean his vintage Gillette Slim Twist and start to use it. Put it in hot water and dish detergent to begin with, not anything abrasive. Scrub it with a toothbrush and repeat the process. See if it comes out good.

    The Slim Twist (along with the Tech) are my go to DE razors. They were my daily razors, basically. However, last year, something changed for me. I hurt my right arm and was, for around 6 weeks, only able to use my left one. Thus, I went and bought a Philips S9000 something something razor. The former top of the line model but heavily discounted because it was replaced by a new one (almost identical but different colouring scheme). And, I must admit, this thing has surprised me. It feels mild but you can get very close in less than 2 minutes. No irritations, no in grown hairs which were a problem with the old electric razors I have tried. The technology behind them has advanced quite a bit, it seems, if you pick the top of the line models. Since then, I am using the DE for the experience on weekends but when I have to work, only electric. I kind of miss the DE shave but then I think about the time gained. Anyways, take care ;).

    I had the chance to get one recently, kindly given by a neighbour who is moving and therefore was getting rid of unused items.
    For me this is the ultimate TTO head as far as the shaving quality is concerned, and I have tried out a few. Just a pity the handle is plastic, yet a proof that even a frugally manufactured razor can deliver an outstanding shave.

    I watch almost every video of yours but I rarely do leave a comment. However, it's fascinating to me that I am watching you from a place called Oman (that you might never heard of). You are one of the few who has quite entertaining rants going on while shaving, so thank you! :D

    You make shaving with a safety razor look so easy. I’m 21 and my facial hair grows in pretty thick and dark in some places but not others, so I usually have to shave every 2-4 days. I also have extremely sensitive skin and would get horrible razor burn for 5 blade razors. I finally got a safety razor for christmas, which has definitely helped lessen the razor burn. But I also find it extremely difficult to fully shave certain places of my face. Between my lower lip and ball of my chin, jawline, adams apple, and right underneath my nose. I also still get some acne and have seriously bled from shaving over that compared to a 5 blade razor. Any tips for getting those hard to reach places?

    Not sure if it is the razor or the blades. I’ve use Personna but they just were in a plain wrapper and said made in the USA on the blade itself and they were fantastic. Ahhh the Osage Rub have not seen that in awhile. Please don’t get a gorilla for your son. Well Magilla might be ok. I wonder if that pet store owner is still trying to sell him?
